I've got Ubuntu Studio 16.04 with xfce4. My goal is to run festival, the speech generator, whenever I log in into the graphical desktop environment.
Making festival say something in the terminal works perfectly, for instance:
echo "got milk" | festival --tts
To achieve this, I tried this way:
opened the session and startup program, selected Application Autostart and clicked onto add. There I can input a command, which should start each time I log into xfce4, so they say.
However, when I log in into xfce4, no one is speaking.
